Despite the strained relations between the two neighboring countries, a large number of devotees gathered under the watchful eye of the BSF to pay their respects at the dargah.
An annual fair was held in the dargah of Baba Barjewala at the zero line on the international border between India and Pakistan in the village of Gullaba Bhaini.
Despite the strained relations between the two neighboring countries, a large number of devotees gathered under the watchful eye of the BSF to pay their respects at the dargah.
Commander Dinesh Kumar of the 66th Battalion of the British Security Forces, accompanied by his family members, put on the cheddar as a gesture of reverence to start the exhibition.
The fair, which was organized with the help of nearby villagers, is of significance to the local community. In the past, wrestlers from both countries participated in sporting activities during this event, which drew thousands of visitors to the cemetery. However, post-partition, the tomb is now on the zero line, and the show is run by Indian residents who live along the border.
Previously, devotees from Pakistan also attended this annual fair, thus showing mutual respect for this place across the border. Unfortunately, due to the current strained relations between the two countries, the citizens of Pakistan were not able to participate this year. However, worshipers on both sides paid their respects from afar.
Amidst tight security, including thorough searches and checks, people were allowed to enter the cemetery premises. The fair included exhibitions showcasing Punjab’s rich heritage, as well as performances of music and dance.
Commander Dinesh Kumar expressed his satisfaction with the enthusiastic participation in this year’s fair and emphasized the detailed security arrangements made by the Bahraini security forces.
People travel from far away to pay their respects, believing that their wishes will be fulfilled at Dargah.
